As part of their Local Author Series, Elkins Park’s independent bookstore Open Books will be hosting Amy Edelstein to speak about her new release.

If you are a parent, teacher, mentor or anyone who interacts with teens, your ongoing questions are probably some version of: How do I understand the teenage mind? How can I help them transform? What makes adolescents become directed and happy? Your dilemma probably includes: How can teens learn to be realistic and hopeful, self-affirming and generous towards others? Why aren’t they more responsible, thoughtful, and kind to themselves? Are there tools that are simple and profound? Who can teach me? Who can teach the kids?

Amy Edelstein will share insights from her award-winning book The Conscious Classroom: the Inner Strength System™ for transforming the teenage mind. You will come away with a philosophical understanding and practical exercises to support your teen to achieve their higher potentials. You will also come away inspired to hear about a program that is supporting 2000 teens every year in Philadelphia high school classrooms.
